From the looks of it, Cineplex already has a presence in Whitby since it owns a Playdium arcade location, but no movie theatre. This would’ve piss off the Competition Bureau if they dare open a cinema in Whitby.
Though still owned by Cineplex, it should be listed as open, but no longer showing movies. Name should be changed to “Playdium Brampton” since it reopened in 2019 and current functions as an arcade and entertainment centre. Cineplex already has a PlayerOne Amusement Group subsidiary that owns Playdium.
CorusFTW: “ Cineplex Odeon closed it on February 15, 2001, with its final films being Seducing Maarya, Shadow of the Vampire, Billy Elliot, Sugar and Spice, and Vertical Limit.”
Cineplex Odeon (Universal) ran the theatre when it was transferred to Loews Cineplex in 1998. They, Loews Cineplex, closed that theatre like you said.
Still Galaxy, which operated continuously since it opened albeit the corporate changes done back in 2003 when it merged with the Canadian unit of Loews Cineplex as Cineplex Galaxy.
Galaxy Cinemas Nanaimo became the theatre’s present name since 2000 and has been maintained by Cineplex since 2003. What I mean “Cineplex” is the current company that is a byproduct of the merger of Galaxy and the Canadian assets of Loews Cineplex that became Cineplex Galaxy (until 2005 that is).
“It was taken over by Cineplex Odeon in 2005, and then Empire Theatres in September 2005. At some point after Empire took over, two more screens were added.”
Empire Theatres acquired the theater in 2005 because Cineplex had to sell off 27 cinemas due to antitrust concerns.
To reply m00se1111’s statement: Cineplex may have to transfer the Scotiabank Theatre name to Yonge-Dundas and VIP theatre that they acquired in 2012 when AMC departed the Canadian market. Many of its functions like an arcade, Coke Freestyle, party rooms and Outtakes would be relocated there. During the day, some of the auditoriums are used by Ryerson.
VIP Cinemas recently opened months ago since Oct 2019. The name “Cineplex Cinemas Winston Churchill and VIP” shall be attached since they have 5 VIP screens with a licensed lounge.
And with a massive 24 screens, it has everything like UltraAVX, DBOX, IMAX, RealD 3D and Recliner seats. Concessions range from Coke Freestyle, Outtakes, Starbucks, Pizza Pizza and alcohol.
Ever heard the changes? It seems Cineworld the parent company of Regal is acquiring the second incarnation of Cineplex which was called Galaxy Entertainment, last month. Expect a reunion of many Regal’s former Cineplex Odeon theatres sooner than expected.
You forget from 1998-2001, this theatre was part of Loews Cineplex, since Cineplex Odeon operated in from 1985-1998. Since 2005, Cineplex Entertainment owns this theatre.
